Pakistan tells US, Iran there is no alternative to dialogue to resolve Middle East conflict

By The South Asia Times

UNITED NATIONS — Pakistan on Tuesday urged the United States and Iran to pursue dialogue and diplomacy, saying there was no other viable option to resolve rising tensions in the Middle East.

Speaking during a United Nations Security Council briefing on the situation in the Middle East, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, condemned recent drone attacks targeting critical infrastructure in the Gulf region, including the Barakah nuclear power plant in the United Arab Emirates and attacks against Saudi Arabia.

Pakistan said attacks on nuclear facilities represented a grave violation of international law and posed serious risks to regional and global security.

“Nuclear installations must never be targeted under any circumstances,” Ahmad told the council, warning that such attacks could have catastrophic consequences for human life, the environment and regional stability.

Pakistan also called on all sides to exercise maximum restraint and avoid steps that could further escalate tensions across the region.

“Dialogue and diplomacy, consistent with the principles and purposes of the UN Charter, remain the only viable path toward de-escalation and lasting peace and stability in the region,” Ahmad said.

He added that Pakistan had been making “sincere efforts” to facilitate diplomatic engagement between the concerned parties and would continue playing a constructive role in encouraging talks.

The remarks come amid heightened regional tensions following reported drone attacks on strategic sites in the Gulf and growing concerns over the security of nuclear infrastructure in the Middle East.
